Improved Parametric Rugged Box

Improved version of Parametric Rugged Storage Box

Remixed the design from @TheSameNameTwice by rverse engineering parametric 3D model in Fusion and improving weak points.

This model is still parametric but using fusion360 as original, no openscad version (sorry).

Put a ❤ if you like my design.

Instructions

Open the .f3d model in free version of Fusion360.

Main menu
--> Solid TAB

Go to second group.

• Press the "MODIFY" drop down menu
• Select "fx Change Parameters"
• Change: [hei, len, wid] following instructions
• Also Change: [lid/base height ratio] following instructions

  Note: sometimes Fusion 360 has some problems when parameters are changed too much in a single iteration, if you want to go form 50 to 200, do 50mm or smaller steps.

Final:
Verify that model is rendered without problems.
--> Export .STL

1. Top cover improved closing latch:

The lever is now longer, to have a smoother closure and more durability.

2. Bottom box has three improvements:

• The hinge is supported by two parametric sturdy and smooth inserts coming from the bottom, increasing durability and avoiding breaking it during first assembly.
• Additionally I carved a V shape insert area to have a better hinge snap-in during assembly.
• Finally the front latching area is now improved a little because it was too thin in the original model.

Printed with tree supports to improve plastic structure but they may be not used.

Suggested a flexible material like PETG to ensure a better assembly of the hinge.
Bottom box can be printed in PLA, but cover is recommended in PETG.
